希伯来书 2
1 因此，我们必须更密切地关注我们学到的一切，免得我们远离它们。
Therfor more plenteuousli it bihoueth vs to kepe tho thingis, that we han herd, lest perauenture we fleten awei.
2 如果天使所传递的信息都是值得相信的，那么所有罪行和不服从之举，就会得到应得的结果。
For if the ilke word that was seid bi aungels, was maad sad, and ech brekyng of the lawe and vnobedience took iust retribucioun of meede,
3 如果我们忽略如此伟大的救赎，怎么又能逃罪呢？这救赎最初由主亲自宣讲，后来听见它的人又向我们证实。
hou schulen we ascape, if we despisen so greet an heelthe? Which, whanne it hadde takun bigynnyng to be teld out by the Lord, of hem that herden is confermyd in to vs.
4 上帝又按照自己的选择，用神迹、奇事和各种异能以及圣灵之礼，作为见证。
For God witnesside to gidere bi myraclis, and wondris, and grete merueilis, and dyuerse vertues, and departyngis of the Hooli Goost, bi his wille.
5 上帝并没有把我们所说“即将到来的世界”，交给天使管理；
But not to aungels God sugetide the world that is to comynge, of which we speken.
6 但经文中说道：“人算甚么，你竟担心他们？人之子算甚么，你竟关心他？
But sum man witnesside in a place, and seide, What thing is man, that thou art myndeful of hym, or mannus sone, for thou visitist hym?
7 你让他比天使卑微一点；你赐给他荣耀尊贵, 将他置于万物之上。
Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corowned hym with glorie and onour; and thou hast ordeyned him on the werkis of thin hondis.
8 你让他拥有统治一切的权利。”上帝给了他统治万物的权利，就没有什么高于他了。然而，我们看到，并不是所有的东西都受制于他的权威，还不是。
Thou hast maad alle thingis suget vndur hise feet. And in that that he sugetide alle thingis to hym, he lefte no thing vnsuget to him. But now we seen not yit alle thingis suget to hym;
9 但我们看到耶稣的地位要比天使略低，通过遭受死亡的痛苦，获得荣耀尊贵的冠冕。通过上帝的恩典，耶稣为众人体验死亡。
but we seen hym that was maad a litil lesse than aungels, Jhesu, for the passioun of deth crowned with glorie and onour, that he thorouy grace of God schulde taste deth for alle men.
10 那创造和保持一切的上帝，应该为他的很多儿子带来荣耀。引导人们获得救赎的耶稣是通过苦难完全准备好的。。
For it bisemede hym, for whom alle thingis, and bi whom `alle thingis weren maad, which hadde brouyt many sones into glorie, and was auctour of the heelthe of hem, that he hadde an ende bi passioun.
11 因为那让人变得神圣之人，以及那些变得神圣之人，都是一家人。所以他会毫不犹豫地称他们为兄弟。
For he that halewith, and thei that ben halewid, ben alle of oon; for which cause he is not schamed to clepe hem britheren,
12 他说：“我要向他们宣扬你的名，我要在他们的聚会中赞美你。”
seiynge, Y schal telle thi name to my britheren; in the myddil of the chirche Y schal herie thee.
13 又说：“我要信任他。”；还说：“我来了，与上帝赐给我的孩子们一起。”
And eftsoone, Y schal be tristnynge in to hym; and eftsoone, Lo! Y and my children, whiche God yaf to me.
14 因为孩子们都有血肉之躯，他自己也同样拥有血肉之躯，这样就可以通过死亡，消灭那掌控死亡权力的魔鬼，
Therfor for children comyneden to fleisch and blood, and he also took part of the same, that bi deth he schulde destrie hym that hadde lordschipe of deth, that is to seie, the deuel,
15 释放那些因为怕死而终身为奴仆之人。
and that he schulde delyuere hem that bi drede of deth, `bi al lijf weren boundun to seruage.
16 当然，他关心的并不是天使，他只关心亚伯拉罕的子孙。
And he took neuere aungelis, but he took the seed of Abraham.
17 所以他必须在各方面与其兄弟们相同，这样就可以在上帝的事情中，成为仁慈忠信的大祭司，原谅其子民的罪。
Wherfor he ouyte to be likned to britheren bi alle thingis, that he schulde be maad merciful and a feithful bischop to God, that he schulde be merciful to the trespassis of the puple.
18 因为他自己已在试探中遭受苦难，能够帮助那些被试探的人。
For in that thing in which he suffride, and was temptid, he is miyti to helpe also hem that ben temptid.
